SCM using the Cloud
Companies can be reluctant to move their data over to the Cloud for multiple reasons. Management can be wary of adopting cloud-based supply chain management due to security concerns over data breaches and loss of irreplaceable data. The potential lack of security in the use of Cloud computing can lead to distrust among users. And in a supply chain, you risk more than just your own company’s data- you also have some level of access to your supplier’s and customer’s data as well.
The cloud offers your business may benefit that will ultimately positively impact your supply chain performance.

Augmented Reality in Logistics
Although AR is in relatively early stages of adoption in logistics, it could change the way with surplus benefits. For example, AR can give logistics providers quick access to anticipatory information anytime and anywhere. This is vital for the prospective and exact planning and operation of tasks such as delivery and load optimization, and is critical to providing higher levels of customer service.
AR in logistics will develop in the future

Warehousing Operations-AR has the potential to significantly reduce cost by improving the picking process. It can also help with the training of new and temporary warehouse staff, and with warehouse planning.

Transportation Optimization-Over the last decade, the use of advanced information technologies by logistics providers has greatly improved the efficiency, reliability, and security of freight transport-ation. AR has the potential to further optimize freight transportation in areas such as completeness checks, international trade, driver navigation, and freight loading

Last-mile Delivery- Another important field of application for AR is at the last mile.The growing use of e-commerce has led to a boom of last-mile delivery services, which is the final step in the supply chain and often the most expensive one. Therefore,the optimization of last-mile delivery to drive down product cost and increase profit is a promising field of application for AR devices.
Enhanced Value-added Services-As well as helping logistics providers to improve their processes, AR can also enable them to perform new services for their customers, such as assembly and repair, and provide new customer support tools.
